Mental Health Residential Treatment

At ORCA House, one floor operates as a 16-bed, short-term mental health residential facility, serving adults who require a higher level of step-down care after being discharged from a crisis stabilization unit or inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. It’s also available for step-up care for adults referred for a higher level of monitored residential treatment.

With an expected length of stay of 30-90 days, the goal is to provide a positive, structured, caring, home-like environment conducive to the stabilization of symptoms, individual growth and development, and an effective transition back into the community. Services include:

• Individual and group mental health counseling with an emphasis on Mental Health Day Treatment groups
• Behavioral health assessments
• Case management
• Peer support
• Psychiatry
• Nursing
• A primary care provider assesses residents upon admission. Follow-up primary care and infectious disease care is available as needed.

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Residential Treatment

Signature Health is making changes at ORCA House to better meet community need. We're pursuing different licensure for ORCA's 3rd floor (formerly a 3.7 level of SUD residential care) to become a Class 1A—similar to ORCA’s 2nd floor—with a focus on serving individuals with dual diagnoses. As part of this change, ORCA's SUD floor is temporarily closed, and we will not be accepting new admissions until it reopens. ORCA's mental health floor (2nd floor) remains open with no changes to the referral process.
